The Consortium on the Revolutionary Era, 1750-1850 (CRE) is an organization of member schools dedicated to the promotion of research on the Revolutionary Period. The CRE provides an annual venue for the presentation of original research on the history of Europe, the United States, Latin America, the Atlantic World and beyond during the Age of Revolution. In 2014, the University of Mississippi will host the annual meeting. We are soliciting panel/paper proposals treating any aspect of history, literature, political thought, art, or music history on the period from 1750 to 1850. We welcome proposals from allied disciplines and comparative studies. In short, we offer a platform for research into the Revolutionary Era broadly defined. Annual conferences are not theme-based so a broad array of panels/papers are encouraged, including linked sessions on important anniversary events.
"Race and Nation in the Age of Emancipations: A Symposium on the Atlantic World"

Where? Rice University, Houston, Texas.

“Transformational Conflicts: War and its Legacy through History,” 81st Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History
The Department of History at Rice University invites proposals for a special conference and anthology exploring the complicated relationship between race, citizenship, and national identity during the era of emancipations. Historians working within the framework of Atlantic History have reoriented our understandings of the past away from the nation-state and towards an Atlantic, hemispheric, continental, or global approach. Without such movement away from a nationally-based framework, much of the innovative and enlightening scholarship on people of color in the Atlantic World would have been impossible. Yet by de-privileging the nation-state, historians have obscured the discussion of how nationality and citizenship figured into blacks’ conceptions of their own identities, as well as whites’ conceptions of people of color within the nation. Nationality, whether legal citizenship or cultural imagination, played an integral role in the formation of individual and group identity. By examining race, identity, and nation in particular contexts, this symposium will contribute to a better understanding of if, how, and why people of color throughout the Atlantic World came to understand themselves as citizens during the long nineteenth century… Successful proposals may consider a range of topics relating to race, citizenship, and national identity. We invite papers exploring a single national context or those employing a transnational analysis, and we hope to feature projects that span the era of emancipations, roughly from the Haitian Revolution through Brazilian abolition.
When? April 3-7, 2014.
Where? Kansas City, Missouri.
Deadline: October 1, 2013.
The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. It is also the 150th anniversary of the third year of the American Civil War, 200th anniversary of seminal events in the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812, and 300th anniversary of the end of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Society for Military History invites papers that examine these and other pivotal conflicts in terms of how they were conducted, their effects on the evolution of war, culture, and society and how historians and societies at large have remembered them. The program committee will consider paper and panel proposals on all aspects of military history, while especially encouraging submissions that reflect on this important theme.
